Strachan’s side opted not to play a friendly this week, unlike Group F rivals England, Slovakia, Slovenia and Malta.

There is a date to play a friendly before that Slovenia game on March 26, and the Scots will be invited over to Luxembourg for a match. That is because the tiny nation are desperate to move up the Fifa rankings table.

Luxembourg are currently sitting in 130th place, while Scotland are set to plunge down to 66th when the new table is released next week.
